django-genshi 1.1.3

Overview

django-genshi is a small wrapper library around Genshi that provides
an API similar to django.template. Included are imitations of
Context and RequestContext. There is also an implemention of the
Django template loader system adapted for Genshi, and a selection of
shortcut functions.

Usage

See the Django[1] and Genshi[2] documentation for detailed usage notes.
The API of django-genshi is intended to mirror that of Django, while
writing or manipulating the templates will require knowledge of Genshi.

Genshi cannot use Django’s default template loaders – to work around this,
the app_directories, eggs, and filesystem loaders have been
modified and included in the django_genshi.loaders package. To avoid
conflicts with Django’s template system, place such loaders in the
GENSHI_TEMPLATE_LOADERS setting.

Output Type Autodetection

Because Genshi is based on abstract markup streams, it is possible for a
template to be rendered to multiple output representations (such as HTML or
XHTML). The decision of which to render is usually based on the HTTP
Accept header. The shortcuts.render_to_response_autodetect function
implements a reasonable algorithm for autodetecting output formats, and
serves as an example for writing custom encoders in general.

Filters

Arbitrary Genshi filter functions may be registered, using the
GENSHI_TEMPLATE_FILTERS setting. They will be applied to generated
template streams by the shortcut functions prior to rendering the
streams. Example filters are included in the django_genshi.filters
module.
